New Derivative World

"Drip, drip."

Water from the stalactites dripped onto the rock wall, making a faint sound.

A cool, damp breeze carrying a hint of earthy fragrance blew in from outside the cave.

Wang Changle lay in the coffin, slowly regulating his breathing. He looked around, gazing at the dawn light filtering in from outside the cave, and slowly sat up.

The Deadly Land at the bottom of the valley was very suitable for hiding, but not so much for living. So, Wang Changle returned to where he was buried, dug out the coffin he was in, and then moved it back to the cave.

He flipped himself out of the coffin, grabbed a fresh mountain apple from a bamboo basket beside him, took a couple of sips of pond water, and ran outside while gnawing on the apple.

Life in the valley was simple for Wang Changle. Besides meeting his basic physiological needs, the most important things he did every day were Contemplation and body training.

Contemplation involved following the method taught by Kakashi, continuously observing and recalling things in his mental world, making them more vivid, and developing and utilizing his Mental Power.

In the valley, there were abundant vibrant plants. Sensing direction and communicating with plants was the best method he could think of.

Through constant practice, he had made new breakthroughs in the use and perception of his Mental Power.

Not only was his meditation faster, more focused, and more concentrated, but he could also spread his perception and Mental Power outwards in the form of radiation waves, greatly increasing the range of his perceptual communication with plants.

This not only accelerated the speed of information sensing but also increased his range from the previous 50 meters to 100 meters, a nearly twofold increase!

Body training involved high-intensity aerobic and strength training within the valley every day to improve his basic physical abilities and adapt to high-intensity exercise.

Kakashi was not only a Ninjutsu copying ninja but also an elite of the Anbu, highly skilled in Taijutsu.

In his teachings, while a ninja's perception and control were important, the body was also crucial!

The brain was the center for controlling energy, and the body was the vessel that carried the brain. The more robust, reliable, and energetic the vessel, the more stable and continuous the brain's work could be.

Familiarizing himself with his body and purposefully increasing his resistance to exercise pressure would give the spellcaster (ninja) greater mobility and responsiveness in combat.

This kind of life was monotonous and singular, yet fulfilling and intense.

However, the growth in strength was extremely slight and slow, requiring persistent effort!

Therefore, compared to this kind of life, he wished he could return to the Cycle Paradise.

Because only in the Paradise could he obtain more powerful abilities, enough for him to get revenge!

[Hint: A new Derivative World is about to be generated. Hunters will return to the Paradise. Please ensure there are no witnesses nearby.]

[Teleportation beginning... Teleportation complete.]

[Hint: LV2 Hunters will receive information about the Derivative World ten minutes before entering it. Please wait patiently.]

In a daze, Wang Changle had already returned to his private space.

Looking at the empty space, he thought, I need to figure out how to decorate it next time I come back.

A new Derivative World had appeared. He wondered what kind of world he would have to face this time. He needed to check it out quickly and make preparations!

Moreover, this time he would not only have to face a new Derivative World but also Contractors and deal with Violators from hunting missions!

To face so many issues, he needed to make more preparations. Looking at the remaining 8030 Paradise Coins in his space, he pushed open the door and headed towards the trading plaza.

"Time is money, my friend. Please don't delay my business."

"Walk around, take a look! All kinds of skill books available."

"Oh, this beautiful young lady, this necklace would suit you perfectly~"

"No, it's too ugly."

The bustling trading plaza was filled with shouts and calls.

Wang Changle wandered among the various stalls, searching for vendor stalls and the goods he needed.

Compared to Contractors, vendors, because they had been selling goods for a long time, not only had a richer variety of items but also a more reasonable control over their prices.

He had 8030 Paradise Coins left in his space. Excluding the 1000 Paradise Coins he needed to reserve for specific demands after the Derivative World appeared, he had 7030 disposable.

After a short while, he found the equipment he needed at a vendor stall.

Crude Black Iron Helmet

Origin: Lord of the Rings World

Rarity: White: 8

Defense: 5

Durability: 15/15

Description: Durability and toughness are my bywords.

Price: 650 Paradise Coins

A very ordinary helmet with no special abilities. He bought it for 650 Paradise Coins.

Its advantage was that it matched the color and style of his Armor of Toughness, fitting a medieval knight's attire.

After combining the two, he looked like a medieval knight!

Since the Armor of Toughness could not be traded or gifted, he had no way to cash it out.

Although mages were popular in Cycle Paradise, they also attracted more attention, especially during combat, where they would be the primary targets.

To avoid being singled out, he decided to play it safe and disguise himself as a knight.

After all, the Armor of Toughness had impressive stats and a formidable appearance, making it perfect for posing as a novice knight.

After buying the cosmetic items, Wang Changle went to the stall selling consumables. Consumables were always essential and the most frequently used items for Contractors in Paradise.

Every additional type of recovery potion meant an extra layer of safety, or even an extra life, in a Derivative World!

Before he arrived, the stall selling consumables was already crowded.

This was not only because they had a complete selection of goods but also because they sold items that restored magic points.

Mages were powerful, so items related to them, especially consumables that restored magic points, were priced higher than items of the same quality.

For him, a magic-using class with a limited magic point pool but high consumption, magic recovery items were particularly important.

Cool Spring Water

Origin: World of Warcraft

Rarity: White

Type: Consumable

Effect: After consumption, maintain a seated posture to slowly restore 1-45 magic points.

Hint: This item requires a longer consumption time. The recovery effect will be determined by the consumption time, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 45.

Description: Cool and delicious mountain spring water.

[Magic Blue Bottle]

Origin: MapleStory World

Rarity: White

Type: Consumable

Effect: After drinking, restore 25 magic points in a short period.

Description: Green Spirit flavor, you deserve it.

Of these two consumables, the [Cool Spring Water] offered slow recovery, allowing him to recover effectively during non-combat times with a decent amount of restoration.

However, it required him to maintain a seated posture and had a slow recovery speed, which was a significant limitation.

The [Magic Blue Bottle] allowed for rapid recovery during combat. The bottle was small and could be held in one hand, allowing for instant consumption and a considerable amount of restoration.

In intense battles, having such a small blue bottle could allow him to cast at least one more spell, increasing his chances of winning.

However, although consumables had no cooldown, consuming too many in a short period would lead to diminishing returns until the recovery effect was lost entirely.

"Boss, how much for these two?"

The employee's eyes lit up as he looked at the consumables Wang Changle had chosen, knowing he might have a high-value customer today.

Magic recovery items were always expensive, representing the status of their users.

Although everyone had intelligence attributes and magic points, not all Contractors used magic recovery potions, as magic skills were expensive and rare.

Only magic-using combat Contractors would need them. The Contractor before him was either a mage or a wealthy individual.

"[Cool Spring Water] 800, [Magic Blue Bottle] 2000, a total of 2800 Paradise Coins."

"I can see you're a serious buyer. If you're truly sincere, I'll throw this in as a bonus. Consider it a favor."

As the employee spoke, he handed over an item that looked like a seven-colored fruit candy.

[Rainbow Fruit Candy]

Origin: Toriko

Rarity: White

Type: Consumable

Effect: After consumption, for the next 1 hour, magic recovery speed +1.

Description: Made from diluted colorful fruits, you can taste various fruit flavors.

Looking at the seven-colored candy in his hand, Wang Changle smacked his lips. This thing...

But if he ate one every hour, he could recover an additional 24 magic points per day. It was a bit redundant to constantly eat it.

"Alright, I'll take four [Cool Spring Water], one [Magic Blue Bottle], and add 300 Paradise Coins for 10 of these [Rainbow Fruit Candy]."

After some bargaining, Wang Changle, along with the employee named "Candy," successfully purchased everything for 5500 Paradise Coins.

"Wishing you a safe return and all your wishes come true, boss!"

"Ah, thank you in advance then."

Wang Changle left Candy's stall and continued browsing the trading plaza until he received a notification from Paradise.
